  • Metabolic Vulnerability Index (MVX) Plus by NMR 123601

    6 analytes · Serum · Fasting not stated · Turnaround 2 - 3 days

    Method and collection
    Method
    The MVX test is a nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy (NMR)-derived multi-analyte algorithm that calculates a score based on the results of GlycA, citrate, branched- chain amino acids and small HDL particles from 400 MHz proton NMR spectra of serum or plasma samples. These analytes are used to produce the IVX, MMX and MVX scores.
    Preparation
    Fasting for 10 to 12 hours is preferred since there is a postprandial effect on MVX parameters that is not consistent or uniform and that depends on food and individual response.
    Collection
    Collect specimen in a lavender-top (EDTA-no gel) tube, which is the preferred specimen. Separate plasma from lavender-top (EDTA-no gel) tube immediately after collection. Plasma should then be transferred to a transport tube for storage at (2°C to 8°C) until time of shipment. Separate plasma from green-top (sodium heparin) tube immediately after collection. Plasma should then be transferred to a transport tube for storage at (2°C to 8°C) until time of shipment. For plain red-top tube, hold tube upright at room temperature for 45 minutes after drawing and allow to clot. Centrifuge specimen after clotting according to manufacturer's specifications. Transfer to a transport tube for storage at (2°C to 8°C) until shipped. For NMR LipoTube (black-and-yellow-top tube), keep upright at room temperature for 30 minutes and allow to clot. Centrifuge at 1600 to 1800 xg for 10 to 15 minutes immediately after clotting. If the sample cannot be centrifuged immediately, it must be refrigerated at (2°C to 8°C and centrifuged within 24 hours of collection. The NMR tube should then be stored at (2°C to 8°C) until shipped. All specimens should be shipped for testing within 48 hours of collection. Shipment should maintain (2°C to 8°C) storage conditions to maximize sample longevity. Frozen storage and/or fresh shipment of specimens are acceptable.

We compile this page from named laboratory catalogs, guidelines and studies. Labs calculate reference intervals from the people they test, for one assay method and one population group, so an interval describes that population rather than an optimal target.
